Everything was Different

It was my fault.
We never hanged out,
talked or even kissed.
I know you were shy,
But I should've known then.
You blamed it on yourself,
Knowing I would tell you it wasn't.
You broke my heart,
When you said it was over.
I thought we were meant to be,
But I guess I was wrong.

You made me cry myself to sleep
every night.
My friends tried to cheer me up.
Nothing worked.
Each day I saw you laugh.
As you looked at me,
I smiled,
Trying not to cry.
You seemed a lot happier without me.
You talked more,
But not to me.
I wanted you to be happy,
And you were.
if only I could be too.
